Beta Club is an academic based club for students who meet proper expectations set for GPA’s and character.

Lastly, I am a part of the Math Club; our main objective in this club is to raise enough money to provide three seniors in the club with scholarships based on the amount of money raised. The seniors chosen are based off of the need of financial aid and their overall character. Aside from this, the club also provides an environment where people with a common love for math can come together and learn more about
